East Dulwich Road shops, and Crown House

[just_browsing]

First post on here having recently moved into the PR/ED area.

There's a nice little row of shops on East Dulwich Road, with the Flying Pig (really really like the beer selection, food a bit hefty for me, and the staff could be improved immeasurably by adding a notepad to their tools), Aneto Cafe (lovely people, hope it works out for them but worry about quite how much they can achieve in that tiny kitchen), picture framers (again, brilliant people there), plus bike shop, newsagents, fish and chips etc. Among these are a couple of vacant shops, one which has now been let/sold which was previously the launderette, and has a lovely Laundromat sign that could well stay were a hip/wannabe hip bar/restaurant move in.

Any idea what the plans are for the laundromat, and or the other vacant shop?

Much of the gossip on here revolves utterly understandably, around Lordship lane, but there's this mini-hub here which has some lovely places and may get even better depending on what comes into these shops (don't take this as a failure to acknowledge the importance of a launderette to many many people, it's simply that when we moved in it had already closed, and anything is better than nothing in its place).

Separately, what's going on with Crown House? It depresses me every time I see it but would seem to be in a good location and definitely needs some love.

Thanks
